Changing Isn’t Hard. Needing To Is.

Changing Isn’t Hard. Needing To Is.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to change when you need to change?
You might spend 50 years screaming ‘bloody murder’ about how you’ll never eat green leafy vegetables, but once you’ve had a heart attack and the doctor tells you that you’re at high risk to have another one, it’s pretty amazing how quickly you decide you want to change.

Because it’s a mind set change.

The only thing that changed was your desire to live. Your ambition to hold back the looming consequences of your actions.

Changing isn’t hard. Needing to change is very hard.

And then some days it’s not hard at all.

It’s the only option in front of you.

But when that day comes where change is the only option in front of you, you might find yourself in a position where you’ve already wasted strength and life and the ideal opportunity to do something that truly transforms the world around you.

Take life seriously right now. Use each moment you have bas an opportunity to be a better version of you. Push the limits of what you think it’s possible.

Work harder than you think you should.

Put in the effort. Sweat. Bleed. Fight. Be possessed with a calling bigger then yourself.
